100937 - There is no evident source for this thing to suddenly appear on the
100938 - c17.  HP gave no notice and neither asked for permission nor was given
100939 - approval to place anything on the computer screen.  Open ended risks
100940 - this path to access c17 are set out in the record on 110102, when HP
100941 - performed a similar invasion of property. ref SDS 1 0R7N
100943 -  ..
100944 - The next day, on 110103, similar occurrance with HP installing
100945 - something on c17 that was not approved, similar to a virus attack.
100946 - ref SDS 2 3M5H
100948 -  ..
100949 - Even though in the prior case on 110102, HP's breech of property
100950 - rights resulted in useful solution to configuring the printer, and
100951 - even though in this case there is no evidence of harm to c17, nor data
100952 - on the computer, unapproved access to the computer is an egregious
100953 - invasion, similar to burglary and to virus attack.
100955 -  ..
100956 - This action totally conflicts with Microsoft unfathomable "access
100957 - denied" through permissions policies; all are easily circumvented for
100958 - convenience of HP sales department.  Similarly, computer vendor
100959 - elaborate process of getting permission to use remote access for
100960 - providing technical support.  Here, where HP wants access, it simply
100961 - takes it without any permission of any kind.
